Ready to Partay!

Could be a fashion trend . . . well maybe . . . then again . . . it is just the whole look--including her casual pose with sweater over her arm.

Sarah is not all grown up yet. . . but getting there too quickly for me! It has been awhile since I posted a photo of her. Look here and here.

Sarah is one reason that I love my neighborhood! Sweet, creative, imaginative, cute as all get out, and inventive, she calls out, "Hi Mrs. McDonell!" when she notices me observing her. Last week she and her brother were delivering school orders like the UPS man. I was not quick enough with my camera.

Great photo, and I love that you live in such a wonderful neighbourhood....I love the children who live around me as well and have seen them change to young men and women after living over 10 years here, but am happy to say there are always new little ones coming along....:-) Hugs

I hope Sarah never loses that charm and smile and love...what a great 'kid'...a sweet girl!I loved the stories (links) that you sent...especially the lemonade stand one. Precious neighbor...and I can tell she adores you as well.Love,Jackie

About Me

I was an Ohio farm girl, then a teacher. Following my marriage, I moved with my husband to the Chicagoland area and became the mother of two sons. At age forty, when my sons were ten and twelve years old, my husband died suddenly. My life was turned upside down. Through those difficult years, God was faithful. I became very aware of His presence and watchcare over our lives. I loved being my sons’ mama. They became wonderful men of character. Eight years later, I remarried and our family of three immediately became a family of thirteen. My husband is a hobbyist beekeeper and is contemplating retirement but still works fulltime. Today, our family numbers 23.
